The Umpqua Valley Christian baseball team is raising funds for a spring break trip to Arizona this season, where the Monarchs will play in the Coach Bob Pride Classic against teams from around the country.

The tournament will provide top notch competition for the UVC baseball team and an opportunity for players to be seen by college scouts. 

To raise funds for the trip, the UVC baseball team is hosting a First Pitch Dinner at the Danny Lang Event Center at Umpqua Community College. The evening will include special presentations, guest speakers and an auction. 

The dinner is scheduled for Feb. 3 at 6 p.m. For details about attending or sponsoring the dinner, contact Umpqua Valley Christian athletic director Tim Barron at (541) 378-7401 or via email at tibarron@uvcs.org.
